Hi all, went for a walk around some woods yesterday; heres some things I seen:
(I dont know what most of them are called, so feel free to ID any of them...:))

1. Cuckoo Pint/Arum/Lords and Ladies


2. Dont know this one...



3.Looking up the river, which was quite shallow!


4.


5.


6. now this stuff has been here all year, it was some of the only greenery during the winter months, but I dont know what it is...




7.


8.



9.


10. i was impressed by this beauty!


11.


12. This one reminded me of those amazing deep sea corals - growing on a Scotts Pine...


13. These ones were popping up all over the place!


14. The spores looked brilliant against the green moss...


15. And then this knarly specimen..


16.


17. I took this because it looks like you can see small chippings from where a squirell or mouse has been having a go at it??


18. And then this funny looking thing..


19.


20.

And then the same specimen, the dark line developed on the pores within seconds of dragging a stick along it...


21. and finally..


Sorry about all the pics, thought you lot might just want a flick through them :)

And any ideas of ID'ing any of them do let me know!
Thanks for having a look,
Dan.

There's some fantastic photos there! I love the shot of the river.

I may be wrong, but 8 and 9 look like a Russula. 20 is some kind of Bolete but not sure which.

6 looks like wild garlic to me - did you get a sniff of it?
Im quite sure it isnt wild garlic, because the place was jam picked with that stuff a few month ago, and its all gone now..but thanks for the suggestion!!

Not Ramsoms, I don't think - they will have died off by now. Those things in the pics are a pain in the backside, no idea what they are called though, I do know they are a bugger to cut out of paths etc and grow just about anywhere they can if given half a chance.

Not sure about number 10 being a destroying angel. Without seeing more detail it's hard to be certain - although I'd stay on the side of caution.
